FTP usage
At the end of my last post, I had mentioned that a combination of swiFTP and ftp is a convenient way of syncing your notes. Now, I make it even easier! Write a script like so:
cd ~/.local/share/gnote/ ftp -n $1 2121 << EndOfCommand123 user myswiftpusername myswiftppassword cd sdcard/tomdroid put file1.note put file2.note put file3.note put file4.note put file5.note close EndOfCommand123 exit 0
The explanation:
To run it, provide it with executable permissions (using chmod), and execute it after switching on the swiFTP server on your phone: ./myscript.sh [ip of phone as reported by swiFTP]
One needs to first locate what files need to be synced. I grepped my note files to find out the ones that I need synced every night. You can also open them in a text editor. The .note files are really just xml files. For more ftp commands, please look at its manual.
